Scott Daniel Willis
Scott Daniel Willis, 40, of Port Arthur, TX passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 22, 2022. Scott was born to Donald E. and Carolyn Cagle Willis in Port Arthur on March 4, 1982, at St. Mary’s Hospital.
Although Scott was born in Port Arthur, he grew up in Nederland attending Helena Elementary School, C.O.Wilson Junior High, and graduated with honors from Nederland High School in 2000. While attending high school, Scott was very active in football, track and field, band, and FFA.

After high school, Scott attended Texas A&M University receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Poultry Science. He then began a career in the textile industry in Southern California before returning to Southeast Texas to attend Lamar Institute of Technology to receive a degree in Chemical Processing Operations and was hired by Dow Chemical in Orange where he was currently employed.
Scott enjoyed hunting and fishing, but his greatest enjoyment came from music. After work, he would sit at his keyboard to play and sing before retiring for the day with his new puppy, Murphy.
Survivors are his father Don Willis of Nederland, TX and his brother Mark Willis of Long Beach, CA.
He is proceeded in death by his grandparents Eugene Dale and Dorotha Byrd Willis of Big Sandy, Texas, Clarence and Mable Cagle of Bridge City, Texas, and his mother Carolyn Cagle Willis of Nederland, Texas.
